Free-spirited Bobby has a knack for getting into trouble, and his mother, Maria, never hesitates to offer her opinion, like it or lump it. As he comes of age and builds a life for himself in New York City as a struggling playwright - is there any other kind? - Maria is always there with a phone call or check-in, following her mother's intuition. And when Bobby begins to seek independence as a gay man, Maria stretches her own beliefs to support him. Through learning curves, life's complications and hard-won victories, their love for each other holds plenty of laughs and a few tears, but most importantly, never diminishes. An unsettling yet tender comedy that traces the relationship between an Italian-American mother and her son over the course of five decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Lombardo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822246007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822246008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Concord Theatricals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Matthew Lombardo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217975783679,"sku":"9780822246008","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ecfb57aa-4c92-42d6-99f2-3134665e3bc5.jpg?v=1772000629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-mother-matthew-lombardo-9780822246008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
